Well if I said I was pleased I'd be lying.
I bought this back in August of last year 08/14/08 to be exact. $459.99 total paid, but what the heck, this is what you pay for emerging tech, hugh? Almost one year later I finely get a working unit. About the time I would normally upgrade. Upgrade...
Well I called tech Thursday 05/14 those guys are really friendly and very helpful. As expected I had no trouble getting an RMA. As suggested by others I did way more than was required but I would hate getting a new card having the same issue and it's not the GPU. I would feel pretty stupid at...
Yes I went up to 105 and tested again with same result. I guess I forgot to mention it if you can believe that with all the above verbiage. Honestly I never have had to touch it before below a 4GHz clock and most my test were at stock speed all components.
I lost faith with EVGA tech when...
I have thoroughly tested with memtest 3 different pairs of memory on the setup at stock speeds and then tight timings underclocked and loose timings overclock. Memtest minimum 6 passes zero errors with all clocks.
At this point I'm ready to RMA again but, here and a couple other places I...
PSU = TX850 Corsair rails multimeter OK

Not sure if there is anything else you interested in knowing. LMK
That's a very good point about the PCIe spec 1.0 vs 2.0 my other 2.0 GPU's are on Water so sadly I can't try on this system...
Regarding Overclocking the GPU at this point all is stock.
Underclocking is not an option IMO even if it works.
@mhouck your comments are welcome and underscores my Q Whose responsible? Yours works fine as I suspect do many others. My bad luck aside this tells me what I concluded in the all...
Although I got the replacement GPU from EVGA RMA a while back it's only now that I've had a chance to get her back in to a system for testing.
The good news is both cores show x16 which one core in the previous card showed x8. See www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=647374 thread.
The bad news is...
If the 15" CRT works fine I presume your using a VGA connection so you've ruled out the system If your video card has a VGA port it's working so you've ruled that out. Now if you used an adapter and your GPU has only DVI connection then you've ruled out DVI as the root of your trouble but you...
First best solution is to buy a larger hard drive or repartition the one you have. Image C:\ I use Acronis True Image and place the image on either the new larger drive or larger repartitioned C:\ and your done.
The second and problematic in Vista solution involves some registry hacks...
Doesn't ESA stand for Excluding Simple Adjustment.... lol don't get me wrong I have a 680i and a 780i EVGA board and I think there both great boards but not for extreme overclocking. The bios lacks fine adjustments found elsewhere same chipset. The corruption issues are Nvidia related IMHO and...
